Overview

This node interacts with a Kubernetes cluster to perform various operations such as running pods, restarting resources, executing commands, and more. Specifically, for the 'Restart' operation, it allows restarting a Kubernetes resource within a specified namespace. This node is useful for automating Kubernetes management tasks, such as restarting pods or deployments to apply updates or recover from errors.

Use Case Examples

1. Restart a pod in a specific namespace to refresh its state.
2. Automate the restart of deployments after configuration changes.

Properties

Output

JSON

• stdout - The standard output from running or restarting the pod, containing the result of the operation.

Dependencies

• Requires Kubernetes API credentials for authentication and access to the cluster.

Troubleshooting

• Ensure Kubernetes credentials are correctly configured; missing credentials will cause the node to throw a 'No credentials got returned!' error.
• The 'command' property must be a valid JSON array when running pods; otherwise, an error 'Command must be an array!' will be thrown.
• Verify that the specified namespace and resource name exist in the Kubernetes cluster to avoid operation failures.
